This was just fab

All for Wesley by Jocelynn Drake & Rinda Elliott

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Just fab.

This is the second in the Pineapple Grove series set in a small Florida community and the pace and feel is quite different than the usual action-heavy romantic suspense these two write together.

I love the ease with which they give the reader a lighter narrative, but without it ever just turning into a typical…

Foggy Moskowitz 1

A drug-addicted newborn is stolen from the hospital in Fry's Bay, Florida, by the child's junkie mother.  Foggy Moskowitz, investigator for Florida Child Protective Services, is called to assist the police in finding the endangered baby who needs medicine within three hours or could die.

Foggy had previously been a happy-go-lucky car thief in Brooklyn until he was arrested in 1971.  Knowing he would wind up in jail, Foggy managed to escape from the police, hightailing it to Florida and a new life.  Three years later he has a steady government job.

The search for baby and mother leads Foggy to a small time dealer, a bar and pool hall with excellent brisket and testy teens, and a hungover Seminole trying to help the baby while staying out of trouble.  Finding the baby won't stop the questions in Foggy's mind.  In fact, it generates even more, many involving the Seminole Tribal Council's involvement.  Someone is trying to kill Foggy.  He is also being warned away from Tribal business.  Things get stranger and stranger, but amazingly intriguing.  

It honestly took me a couple of chapters to get into this one, but once I could "hear" the cadence of Foggy's speech, I began to love the book.  An intriguing weaving of mystery, mysticism, unusual characters, and a time of change for the Seminoles.  

While it has become a cliche to write books set in Florida filled with strange, unusual, or crazy people, like most cliches it has a basis in truth.  I grew up in Florida and moved back so I could retire from what I consider my home state.  I can attest that there is something about Florida that either breeds or attracts people who are...different.

I'm enchanted with this book and cannot wait to read a sequel someday soon.  So much so that I am inclined to check out the author's other series, Fever Devilin, which one reviewer has called "Southern Gothic".  

Jocelynn & Rinda open this new series with a cracking good read

Something About Jace by Jocelynn Drake & Rinda Elliott My rating: 5 of 5 stars

From the minute he almost stole the show as a guest star in Dominic and Abe’s book Sadistic Sherlock, I’ve been hoping we’d get Trent’s book.

Jocelynn and Rinda use it to kick off their new Pineapple Cove series set in sunny Florida and it’s a great introduction with a new set of characters to fall in love with.

They…

Lovely festive romance with a Florida warmth

The Christmas Lights Battle by Skylar M. Cates

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a lovely festive romance with a little bit of unexpected spice from Skylar Cates and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Julian and Leo don’t have the best meeting, mostly down to Julian’s preconceived ideas about Leo being a dumb jock and his own internal insecurities.

But once they actually start to talk, they realise the…
